Accounts are terminated when you leave the labLab. IT can provide limited access after you leave for two reasons: change of status (e.g. you are a staff member converting to affiliate), or because you need an extra week to clean up your files. This requires supervisor approval . (or HR confirmation if due to a status change)
If you are going to be on extended vacation or medical leave, your accounts are not disabled.
